While the completed maintenance work will provide temporary relief, the city has a longer-term plan in place to replace these bridges. According to officials, the bridges are still safe for travel and undergo regular inspections. However, they are nearing the end of their service life.

Funding for this project comes from the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA) A-list project and a Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Bridge Investment Program (BIP) Planning Grant.
